Answer
Patrick,
Take them all.

Bowling conditions are about how your speed and rev rate, axis tilt and rotation work on the lane surface and the conditioner applied to it. The tool in between is the bowling ball.

I assume you mean a Roto Grip Cell? If the Cell works rolling up the oil on the outside of the lane, you're good. If not try the Secret Agent, then the Heat. If the outside line doesn't work for your game, you'll need to consider other options.

On this kind of tournament condition, it benefits you to do what's easiest for you to repeat. Hooking the lane with less or no conditioner on it is tough for anybody. Try to keep you swing compact and consistent and try to get some practice in going straighter, letting the balls work for you.

Good luck and good bowling. Thanks for the questions.
